• Be careful not to expose your body directly to the outlet air for a long time. It may
affect your physical conditions.
• When using the air conditioner for infants, children, elderly, bedridden, or disabled
people make sure the room temperature is suitable for those in the room.
• Never insert objects into the unit. Inserting objects can result in injury due to the

Improper cable connection can cause the power supply cord, plug and the
electrical outlet to overheat and cause fire.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Use only
the manufacture-specified power cord for replacement.
• Do not splash or pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock
or equipment damage.
• Do not attempt to install/remove/repair the unit by yourself. Incorrect work will
cause electric shock, water leak, fire etc. Consult your dealer or other qualified

COOLING upper limit 32˚C43˚C
lower limit 21˚C21˚C
HEATING upper limit 27˚C24˚C
lower limit - –15˚C
• The built-in protective device may prevent the unit from operating when used out of this range.
• Condensation may form on the air outlet if the unit operates continuously in the COOL or DRY
mode when humidity is over 80 percent.
WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active be-
fore the power failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned
on to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
• When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an auto-
matic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the in-
side and outside fans stop operating.
• After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
• The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room.
The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
• If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
• It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower
in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased
power consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and heating operations.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.
